Rousing Rondine Poetry Contest is Open

Try your hand at a Rondine, a 12-line poem that uses a refrain, a specific rhyme scheme, and a desired syllable count.

See the details in the contest description. This is the format that will be judged against.

I have written a few, also linked there, and I think it is an interesting form. Use the refrain in different ways, or use the two stanzas to tease out different perspectives, or do something else!
